Useful habits for your next task.

All tips in the guide ›

Move slightly farther from the page if the camera will not focus, then zoom. Enlarging a blurred frame cannot restore its missing detail.

Freeze a sharp picture before moving around it; spread to enlarge, drag to inspect and double-tap to fit it again.

Try Negative, Grayscale or High contrast and choose the print and paper colors that are easiest for you to read.

Use Light for dim print, but change the phone angle if glossy packaging reflects the light back into the lens.

Set Volume keys to Zoom or Freeze/Live when that control is easier to reach than the screen.

Save the frozen picture and use Open on the saved message to check it in Saved immediately.

Check recognized and translated wording against the picture when accuracy matters. Read aloud and text tools depend on the app’s available Pro features and language support.
